I joined Uxbridge College because my friends recommended it to me. I like the spacious environment and find the teachers very supportive. The classrooms and facilities are always clean and resources for our course, like Chromebooks, are always available. The best thing I enjoy at college is the freedom and support that students are given here. If you come here you will have made a good choice and you’ll love it!
